We need to stop electing puppets. The puppet master seems to be compromised. Like Mike Pompeo said the enemy is, "inside the gates".

Generally agree and like DeSantis, but the heel/lift thing is super weird and a red flag if he is that self-conscious.

So they shouldn’t dye their hair? Use make up when on tv? Read speeches prepared by someone else? The list could go on and on. It’s amazingly stupid people are using this as a disqualifying reason for a candidate

Is it? There’s a list of things that people do on a daily basis that enhance their appearance one way or the other. What exactly is the ‘red flag’ signifying?

It is stupid that people care but it's also stupid to lie about it when asked. That's my point. Not a very high bar. But again we are use to the Joe and Don show so maybe that's broken some people.

DeSantis has shown himself to be super petty and not a fan of free speech. Those are two things that disqualify him just off the top, aside from any major policy.

The upcoming debate should be interesting. What's he gonna say? He appears to be on his tippy-toes, encased in a boot facade. This is both weird and phony. Some can stomach weird. But nobody likes a phony.

I'm saying we have way more to worry about than what's being discussed here. :idea:

Some people describe Howard Dean's moment of self-destruction as a petty media smear. However, Dean's unnerving momentary lapse into hyper-mania was Dean's doing, not the media's. Same w/Ron. It is what it is, and it's hilarious.

Sure. Disagree with his policy and debate that. But focusing on his shoes seems….odd.

However, it wasn't the literal words or enthusiasm that sunk Dean, but the suggestion of mania impressed on the collective imagination. I believe this is also the case w/Ron for anyone willing to take a closer look. For Ron, it's not mania. It’s likely something else. But we're not quite sure yet. Or maybe it's just your everyday political buffoonery. I'm going w/buffoonery.
Take a closer look at his…shoes…. :dontgetit

Isn’t it? That seems to be what the topic of conversation. That’s what’s being used an excuse to disqualify his legitimacy. Again, debate his policies but his footwear has nothing to do with it

Has anyone considered Trump running as a Republican nominee for President again? It worked so well the last time we tried it. Of course, it's probably not worth even voting because we all know the leftists will cheat. Sad!

I'm talking about the conversation happning here....He was asked about it and lied about it. Should it have mattered? Of course not but lying about it, along with your height is just as dumb. I'd love for him to talk about policy instead of the tired "no woke. Woke is bad".

That's a good point. Why should I vote if the leftist just steal elections. 🤔

It's weird but I would still vote for him. Never suggested it disqualifies him. Trump's hair and spray tan are weird too but I still voted for him.

Always perceived him, mostly, as a thespian. Not convinced there's much substance there. Wannabe MAGA successor. And little else. Oh, almost forgot....not afraid of walking tall..on his toes

She’s a 4th or 5th choice to me. RDS is still my first choice.

RDS won't get my vote if he's the nominee.
